SEWING-MACHINE ATTACHMENT.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 561,178, dated June 2, 1896.

A li ation filed June 8,1895. Serial No. 552,109. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that we, FERDINAND POST and MANFRED ARTHUR PosT, citizens of the United States, residing at Baton Rouge, in the parish of'East Baton Rouge and State of Louisiana, have invented. certain new and useful Improvements in Sewing-Machine Attachments, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.

Our invention relates to an attachment for sewing-machines, and is designed to provide simple means for operating a tuck-marker without in any way interfering with the stitching operation.

To this end our invention consists in the means for connecting the tuck-marker to the presser-foot of the sewing-machine in order that it may be free from the stitching operation, while at the same time it may be readily controlled.

I11 the accompanying drawing the figure is a perspective View of the'device.

In the drawing, A represents the presserbar, to which is secured the presser-foot, and the needle-bar is shown at B as broken away. The tuck-marker is shown at O, and as it is of ordinary construction it need not be particularly described. The base-plate is shown at a, and the movable gage-plate at I), carrying a pivoted marking-arm c, which is connected to a slotted lever d, pivoted to an upright e on the base and parallel with the presser bar and. foot. The connection is made between this lever and the presser-foot by a pin g, projecting laterally from the presserfoot and adapted to engage a recess formed by a plate h, bent around the lever 01 and having its ends projecting, and between the upper its marking-lever, the pivoted operating-lever engaging the marking-lever, the presser-foot, the pin extending laterally therefrom and the confining-plates carried by the operating-lever and inclosin g and forming a guideway for said pin.

In testimony whereof we aflix our signatures in presence of two witnesses.
